Figure 2.Cisco UCS B460 M4 Blade ServerGreater Performance and Architectural AdvantagesThe Cisco UCS B460 M4 harnesses the power of four Intel Xeon processor E7-4800 v2 and E7-8800 v2 productfamilies and accelerates access to critical data. This blade server supports up to 60 processor cores, 6.0 TB ofmemory (using 64-GB DIMMs), 4.8 TB of internal storage, and 320 Gbps of overall Ethernet throughput.In addition, the fabric-centric, architectural advantage of Cisco UCS means that you do not need to purchase,maintain, power, cool, and license excess switches and interface cards in each Cisco UCS blade chassis, enablingCisco to design uncompromised expandability and versatility in its blade servers. As a result, with their leadingCPU core count, frequencies, memory slots, expandability, and drive capacities, the Cisco UCS B-Series BladeServers offer uncompromised expandability, versatility, and performance.The Cisco UCS B460 M4 provides: Four Intel Xeon processor E7-4800 v2 and E7-8800 v2 product families 96 DDR3 memory DIMM slots Four hot-pluggable drive bays for Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) or Solid State Disks (SSDs) SAS controller on board with RAID 0 and 1 support Two modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) slots for Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) Six PCIe mezzanine slots, with two dedicated for optional Cisco UCS VIC 1240, and four slots for CiscoUCS VIC 1280, VIC port expander, third-party network adapter or flash cardsCisco UCS VIC 1240 and 1280 TechnologyThe Cisco UCS VIC 1240 is a 4-port 10-Gbps Ethernet or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-capable mLOMdesigned exclusively for the M3 and M4 generations of the Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers. When used incombination with an optional port expander, the Cisco UCS VIC 1240 can be expanded to up to eight 10-Gbpsports.The Cisco UCS VIC 1280 is an 8-port 10-Gbps Ethernet or FCoE adapter that further expands Cisco UCS B460M4 Blade Server bandwidth to 320 Gbps. The Cisco UCS VIC 1240 and 1280 enable a policy-based, stateless,agile server infrastructure that can present up to 256 PCI Express (PCIe) standards-compliant interfaces to thehost, which can be dynamically configured as either network interface cards (NICs) or host bus adapters (HBAs). Inaddition, the Cisco UCS VIC 1240 and 1280 support Cisco Data Center Virtual Machine Fabric Extender (VMFEX) technology, which extends the Cisco UCS fabric interconnect ports to virtual machines, simplifying servervirtualization deployment. 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Powering Mission-Critical ApplicationsThe Cisco UCS B460 M4 Blade Server continues Cisco's commitment to delivering differentiated value, fabricintegration, and ease of management that is exceptional in the marketplace for mission critical applications: Business intelligence RISC migration Decision support In-memory analytics Large-scale databases Large-scale, virtualized applications Enterprise-critical middleware Large memory and consolidation workloadsCisco UCS Servers Change the Economics of the Data CenterIT infrastructure matters now more than ever, as organizations seek to achieve the full potential of IaaS, baremetal, virtualized servers, and cloud computing. Cisco continues to lead in data center innovation with theintroduction of these new, mission-critical server building blocks for Cisco UCS that extends its exceptionalsimplicity, agility, and efficiency. New innovations like the Cisco UCS B460 M4 Blade Server bring greater levels ofindustry-leading performance and memory locality from IT infrastructure to enterprise applications. In addition,Cisco UCS is a solution beyond individual rack or blades servers that conveys enormous benefits to customers(Table 1).Table 1.Benefits of UCS ServersBenefitTechnologyApplication Customer BenefitLower costsCisco SingleConnectFewer cables, HBAs, NICs, and switches to purchase, license, power, cool,and maintaintechnologyGreater flexibilityCisco UCS Manager software: totalhardware abstraction Less configuration drift among servers Server provisioning times that are reduced from days to minutes Servers that are provisioned in an automated and consistent manner Future foundation for fast, consistent server provisioningTotal opennessOpen APIs Unique visibility into Cisco UCS beyond Cisco UCS Manager to UCSDirector and other third-party management toolsIn addition, Cisco UCS provides three major innovations that lower both capital and operating expenditures forserver customers: Cisco Single Connect technology, Cisco UCS Manager software, and open APIs. Cisco Single Connect technology provides a dramatic fabric simplification of networking and cablinginfrastructure: one easy, intelligent, and efficient way to connect rack and blade servers, physical and virtualenvironments, LAN and SAN, and management. Cisco UCS unified management software allows administrators to create a software model (service profile)of a desired server and then instantiate that server and its I/O connectivity by associating the service profilewith a model with specific physical resources. 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Cisco UCS Manager supports a comprehensive, automation-friendly, open XML API that exposes 9000points of integration. This facilitates custom development to achieve new levels of system visibility andcontrol. The XML API for Cisco UCS Manager enables automation-friendly insertion into existing IT staffskills, tools, processes, and management tools.In addition, Cisco continues to push the frontier of innovation in all Cisco UCS building blocks and supportingtechnologies. For example, new Cisco VIC options, expanded Cisco UCS fabric interconnects and additional fabricextender options expand both throughput and management simplicity for both blade and rack servers. Cisco DataCenter VM-FEX technology collapses virtual and physical networking into a single infrastructure. Data centeradministrators can now provision, configure, manage, monitor, and diagnose virtual machine network traffic andbare-metal network traffic within a unified infrastructure.Together these Cisco UCS architectural advantages, software advances, and continuous Cisco innovation,coupled with unique blade server and chassis design, help make Cisco UCS the first truly unified data centerplatform.Features and BenefitsTable 2 summarizes the features and benefits of the Cisco UCS B460 M4 server.Table 2.Features and BenefitsFeatureUnified fabricBenefit Decreases total cost of ownership (TCO) by reducing the number of NICs, HBAs, switches, and cables needed Enables the Cisco 5108 Blade Server Chassis to eliminate in-chassis HBAs, NICs, and switches and reallocates thesaved power to denser, more powerful blade servers with more DIMM slots and better per-blade performancecompared to alternative offeringsCisco UCS Managerservice profiles Helps reduce the number of manual steps required to deploy servers in the data center, improving server policyconsistency and coherency Allows servers and support infrastructure to be provisioned in minutes instead of days, shifting IT's focus frommaintenance to strategic initiatives Reduces configuration errors significantly as blades are added or repurposed Enables service profile movement from blade to blade, rack server to blade, blade to rack server, or blade to blade inanother chassisAutodiscovery Requires no configuration; as with all Cisco UCS components, Cisco UCS B-Series blades and Cisco UCS C-Seriesracks are automatically recognized and configured by Cisco UCS ManagerExtensivemonitoring Through Cisco UCS Manager, provides extensive environmental monitoring for each bladeCisco VIC adapter Cisco UCS VIC 1240 is a four-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-capable adapter.
